MrBillyUK !
Sounds like you got a good price for engine and fitting . Hope its possible . I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies as there are alot of good , knowledgeable people on here who can give ya all the info you will need .
Good luck with the conversion :)
MrBillyUK !
Cos some people don't take care of their own things , so why would they bother if they just slam their door into the side of your car , Assholes :(
Pity we're never around when it happens cos i'd go mental if i caught em !
MrBillyUK !
I called chipsaway a couple of weeks ago . He came to look at the scuff on my front bumper then quoted me £70 . Then i said what about these other little chips and he didn't add anymore onto the price . I think £70 is the standard call out price .
I sold the car the day before he was due to...
F*ckin hell , cheap as chips .I thought further south ya went people had more money and prices were a little bit higher .I'm only a poor northern bloke

Whats the name of the vauxhall dealership ? Do they do mail order ?
MrBillyUK !
And some are f*ckin expensive like the only vauxhaul dealer near me :(
£6.37 for 500ml .
Looked all over the net but can't find anywhere else than vauxhaul and ebay .
MrBillyUK !
My mate said he always parks on a funny angle , never between the white lines on a car park so nobody parks next to ya . Tried it on b+q car park a few weeks ago , and somebody parked next to me parallel on the same angle ,lol .
MrBillyUK !
Easy on easy off sounds good to me :) Does the 476 really last a year ? Sounds a little bit optimistic to me and how much harder is it to polish off than the 845 ?
MrBillyUK !
F*ckin hell , now i know why i saw a cable go on ebay for twice as much as some of the changers i've been watchin , like rockin horse sh*t . Can you get after market cables . I miss havin a cd changer and could do with gettin one fitted to the standard head unit . Don't wanna go down the the...
Don't ask how long i was outside . -1 :( couldn't feel my fingers in the end but once i started i had to finish as i'm back to work tomorrow .
MrBillyUK !
Seems to work well . Its the first time i've ever waxed one of my cars before . I usually only ever get as far as AG super resin .Got a bit of inspiration after reading the posts on here from people like yourself . Used the tesco microfibre cloths to apply everything and take it off again ...
I think they've had this car in for quite a while , i was looking at the beginning of the year on auto trader for a 182 . So maybe you could knock the price down a little , after all cars in stock for a long time are losing money not making money .
Pretty high mileage tho' , probably better...
Is the paste version better than the liquid ?
Ever used the collinite stuff # 476 super double coat auto wax or the #915 marque d'elegance ? I like the sound of the 476 , says it lasts a full year.
MrBillyUK !
Yep. I used the liquid . Went on easy . Came off nearly as easy .I washed and super resin polished it yesterday , more super resin polish , extra gloss and souveran today .
F*ckin freezin out there today , -1 at one stage :( Took a few hours .
MrBillyUK !
Finished washing and polishing . Souverans very good , smells like Baileys ;)
Pics on here .

I agree with azzer2000.
Get a 182 . I've just sold my mk2 172 FF and got a 182 FF with cup packs .Both are good cars but personally i like the rear cup spoiler better and twin exhausts and i think it handles better than the 172 . But thats just my opinion .
